SUMMARY:Briscoe with special guest Noah James
DESCRIPTION:THIS IS A STANDING ROOM SHOW\, WITH LIMITED BALCONY SEATING. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDoors open an hour before showtime.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nADVANCE PURCHASE: $20 (+ fees)\n\n\n\nDAY OF SHOW: $25 (+ fees)\n\n\n\nAll surcharges and member discounts will be calculated at checkout.\n\n\n\nClick Here to learn how our ticket surcharge supports OLS.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf Briscoe’s debut album was a coming-of-age soundtrack set against the backdrop of the Texas Hill Country\, then its follow-up\, Heat of July\, is the sound of a fully formed duo chasing down a broader horizon. Inspired by marriage\, landscapes\, and the cross-country tours that took the band across America\, these new songs were written on the road— as eclectic and evocative as the terrain that unfolded just outside the van’s windshield. \n\n\n\nOnce again\, Briscoe teamed up with Grammy-nominated producer Brad Cook to bring the songs to life\, collaboratively creating a record that expands their folk-rock sound in all directions. There are bigger arrangements\, sharper vocal harmonies\, and enough top-tier guest musicians—including members of Houndmouth\, Hiss Golden Messenger\, Bon Iver\, Mipso\, and Watchhouse—to form their own supergroup. \n\n\n\nThe result is a cinematic\, widescreen version of American roots music\, created by two lifelong friends who’ve learned to distill the thrill of the open road—and the challenges of growing up—into an ever-evolving soundtrack. \n\n\n\nWebsite | Facebook | Instagram \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNoah James\n\n\n\nAt just 18 years old\, Baton Rouge-based country singer-songwriter Noah James is emerging as one of the genre’s most compelling new voices. Known for blending raw emotion\, vivid storytelling\, and a sound deeply rooted in his Louisiana upbringing\, Noah has already connected with a rapidly growing audience\, amassing over 50 million TikTok views and over 300\,000 followers. His debut singles “Set Free\,” “Love Run Cold\,” and “Same Old Things” earned praise for their authenticity and heartfelt lyricism\, drawing comparisons to modern country storytellers like Zach Bryan and Wyatt Flores. With his signing to Santa Anna/Sony Music\, Noah is poised to take his music to an even wider audience\, solidifying his place as one of country music’s most sincere and promising young stars. \n\n\n\nWebsite | Facebook | Instagram

SUMMARY:Upstate
DESCRIPTION:Doors open an hour before showtime.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nADVANCE PURCHASE: $20 (+ fees)\n\n\n\nDAY OF SHOW: $25 (+ fees)\n\n\n\nAll surcharges and member discounts will be calculated at checkout.\n\n\n\nClick Here to learn how our ticket surcharge supports OLS.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt takes good soil\, and good seasons\, to bear good fruit\, and Upstate has had its plenty. The band sprung up in New York’s legendary Hudson Valley\, set in the middle of a thick American musical heritage. To their inland West was the Ashokan reservoir folk tradition\, and across the river to the East the legacy of Pete Seeger and the Clearwater. Just north of them was Woodstock and Big Pink\, and all the treasured inheritance of Bob Dylan and the Band. Just south was Tony Falco’s famed venue the Falcon\, a refuge and respite for some of the most venerable jazz legends like Sonny Rollins or Joe Lovano. From the first\, Upstate drew liberally from everything each corner had to offer. \n\n\n\nWith their first record\, A Remedy\, they were known for three-part female vocal arrangements recalling “not only the serpentine sibling harmonies of the Roches\, but of the Andrews and Boswell sisters.” They were otherwise known for an eclectic arrangement of instruments weaving together upright bass\, mandolin\, cajon and baritone saxophone. By their second record Healing\, they were likened to Lake Street Dive and “Manhattan Transfer meets Loretta Lynn.” For their third\, You Only Get a Few\, they drew comparisons to the sound of Laurel Canyon\, another American musical landmark on the other side of the continent. This time they had shed the eclectic instrumentation in favor of traditional drums and guitars. \n\n\n\nAfter 15 years\, three records\, nearly a dozen former members\, and one name change\, Upstate could almost seem unrecognizable were it not for the constancy of their songs. Original members Melanie Glenn\, Harry D’Agostino\, and Mary Webster have been writing and playing music together throughout all the upheavals in the band and their lives. It’s their shared dedication to writing songs of lasting value that has persisted across all the changes to their sound. When Dylan Mckinstry finally joined the band in the years of the COVID pandemic\, his enthusiasm for that commitment made it the band’s lasting cornerstone. \n\n\n\nOn their upcoming Abalone\, Upstate draws on the best of what has marked the band in all its many eras. They showcase a broad range of sounds and styles from across America’s musical landmarks\, from the Hudson Valley to Laurel Canyon and back again (with a few detours to Muscle Shoals). They revive their noted three-part harmonies\, this time with McKinstry adding a male voice to the mix. And most importantly\, they bring an even more seasoned dedication to writing and performing songs of lasting value. \n\n\n\nWebsite | Facebook | Instagram

SUMMARY:Connor Garvey & Ben Cosgrove — Together in Concert
DESCRIPTION:Doors open an hour before showtime.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nADVANCE PURCHASE: $20 (+ fees)\n\n\n\nDAY OF SHOW: $25 (+ fees)\n\n\n\nAll surcharges and member discounts will be calculated at checkout.\n\n\n\nClick Here to learn how our ticket surcharge supports OLS.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTwo distinctive New England musicians\, two very different musical voices\, and a shared love of great songs\, stories\, and the spaces between them. \n\n\n\nAward-winning Portland\, Maine singer-songwriter Connor Garvey and acclaimed pianist/composer Ben Cosgrove have been making music together for years\, bringing an unusually dynamic combination of Garvey’s rhythmic\, soulful songwriting and Cosgrove’s richly textured\, landscape-inspired piano work to stages throughout New England and beyond. \n\n\n\nTheir collaboration has included concerts in Maine\, New Hampshire\, Massachusetts\, Vermont\, Colorado\, and beyond\, with notable appearances together at venues including One Longfellow Square in Portland\, The Word Barn in Exeter\, and Stone Cottage Studios in Boulder. They have also shared the stage at festivals and special events\, including Connor’s Great Northeast Folk Festival in Portland. Their musical partnership has grown from individual appearances into a genuine creative collaboration\, with Cosgrove performing and recording with Garvey and becoming part of the larger musical world surrounding Garvey’s albums and live shows. \n\n\n\nIn concert\, the pairing offers something more than two artists taking turns onstage. Garvey’s intimate\, humorous\, deeply human songs provide the narrative center\, while Cosgrove’s inventive piano playing adds color\, movement\, atmosphere\, and surprise. The result is a show that can move effortlessly from quiet reflection to rhythmic energy\, with plenty of conversation\, spontaneity\, and musical interplay along the way. \n\n\n\nConnor Garvey & Ben Cosgrove bring years of friendship\, collaboration\, and shared stages to every performance—a meeting of songwriter and composer that feels both carefully crafted and completely in the moment \n\n\n\nConnor Garvey: \n\n\n\nConnor Garvey is an award-winning singer-songwriter from Portland\, Maine\, whose music lives at the intersection of thoughtful folk\, rhythmic acoustic rock\, and deeply human storytelling. With a career spanning more than two decades\, Garvey has built a reputation as an engaging performer\, accomplished guitarist\, and songwriter unafraid to explore life’s heavier questions without losing his sense of humor\, hope\, or wonder. \n\n\n\nA winner of the Kerrville New Folk\, Rocky Mountain Folks Fest\, SolarFest\, Wildflower Arts & Music Festival\, and Maine Songwriters Association competitions\, Garvey was also voted the Most Wanted Artist at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival and named one of SiriusXM’s top new singer-songwriters. His performances have taken him to major folk festivals and listening rooms across the country\, sharing stages with artists including John Gorka\, Ellis Paul\, David Wilcox\, Catie Curtis\, Brett Dennen\, Storyhill\, and The Ballroom Thieves. \n\n\n\nGarvey’s eighth album\, Another End of a Year\, marked a particularly mature chapter in his songwriting. The Portland Press Herald praised its “first-rate songwriting with equally solid vocals and a tapestry of keen musicianship\,” while Glide Magazine called it “his most powerful record yet\,” highlighting Garvey’s ability to write lyrics that reach “the core of some of our most vulnerable feelings.” The Maine Edge described the album as “simply top-tier material” and “another example of a Maine artist deserving of a global profile.” Americana UK summed it up more simply: “This is quality song-craft from a richly experienced\, acclaimed musician.” \n\n\n\nThat depth is balanced by a performer’s natural ability to connect. The Portland Press Herald’s Aimsel Ponti captured something central to Garvey’s appeal\, writing that he “proves you can be optimistic and self-aware without being boring.” The Portland Phoenix’s Sam Pfiefle urged listeners to “STOP AND LISTEN\,” describing Garvey as something like “a cross between Paul Simon and Rufus Wainwright\,” while No Depression praised the creative spark that makes his live performances continually surprising. \n\n\n\nGarvey’s songs are ultimately about connection: the stories we tell ourselves\, the moments that change us\, the people who help us through\, and the possibility of finding meaning—and even joy—in the middle of it all. Whether performing solo or with the musicians who have formed the backbone of his recordings for years\, he brings audiences into that shared space between the last note and the applause\, where a good song becomes something more than entertainment. \n\n\n\nBased in Portland\, Maine\, Connor Garvey continues to write\, record\, perform\, and lead songwriting workshops\, carrying forward a simple belief that has animated his career from the beginning: a song can make us pay closer attention—to ourselves\, to one another\, and to the world around us. \n\n\n\nWebsite | Facebook | Instagram \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBen Cosgrove:\n\n\n\nBen Cosgrove is a traveling composer-performer whose music explores themes of landscape\, place\, and environment. Described by the Boston Globe as “a sonic plein-air painter… [using] his piano as a paintbrush\,” Ben has performed in every U.S. state except for Delaware\, collaborated with groups ranging from rock bands to research scientists\, contributed music to several radio and film projects (including the recent Ken Burns documentary The American Buffalo)\, and held residencies and fellowships with institutions including NASA\, Acadia National Park\, White Mountain National Forest\, Isle Royale National Park\, Harvard University\, Middlebury College\, the New England National Scenic Trail\, the Schmidt Ocean Institute\, the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife & Fish Refuge\, the Connecticut River Museum\, and the Sitka Center for Art & Ecology. \n\n\n\nBen’s music has been called “beautiful and fascinating” (The Maine Edge)\, “deeply impressive” (Independent Clauses)\, and “immediately evocative and fully arresting… brim[ming] with technical mastery and emotional capital” (Seven Days). Yankee Magazine calls his music “quintessentially American\, omnivorous\, and democratic\,” and Sound of Boston has described him as “an expert at painting sonic portraits of curious\, unexpected places.” His latest album\, Topograph\, a collection of sixteen new pieces inspired by land-shaping processes around the country\, was released in early 2026. \n\n\n\nWebsite | Facebook | Instagram
